THE Pope had string to that bull of ex-
communication promulgated against the good
Father McGlynn. and he now proposes to reel
it back to the Vatican if the hayward priest
will only do certain trifing things, among
them to humbly apologize and say that he was
wrong in resisting authority. Negotiations
are now pending which may restore the rev.
erend father to the church, and if Henry
George or any other friends have any influ-
ence with him they should advise him to
accept the proffered advances, for he is out of
a clerical job now and viii soon be out of a
secular one, with but slight chances for sue
cess in any walk of life in the future. The
circumstance is a queer one showing the
waning power of ecclesiastical authority. 1t
was not many years ago when the Pope would
DO more have thought of treating with re-
calcitrant priest who had been excommu ni-
Gated than he would have thought of matri-
mony. But things are changing rapidly, and
Popes are no longer considered infallible.

GEN. HENRY r. JACKSON made a glowing

he pictured the procession of the future which
should glorify the cause of human liberty and
progress, and said. 'In that triumphal pro-

the rightful President, but Jefferson Davis,
the so-called traitor leader of so called lost
cause" Another speaker, Gen. Clement A.
Evans, referred to jeff Davis as the ''grand
old man." and said: Brightly is he reckoned
the sublimest of living men. No monarch on
earth has such heartfelt tributes paid him by
his people as you give this day. No
other living man could be accorded such dem
onstrations without exciting suspicion. But
he receives them as the outpouring of the
